Abstract

Abstract The objective of this research was to study the modification of the injection control system and performance tests of motorcycle engine to use gasohol E85. The results showed that the engine using ethanol-gasoline blend (E85) with the proper air-fuel ratio can gain the brake torque and power closed to normal gasoline engine. However, the brake specific fuel consumption is higher than that of the gasoline engine. This study shows the possibility of engine modification to use alternative fuel of ethanol-gasoline blend (E85).
